    Default Chubby Boar

    A simple brush, turned to replicate a Simpson Chubby. maybe the first of its kind with the boar knot, but maybe not. Spalted maple came from my friends wood pile. The knot is a TGN Boar.

    Thanks for looking Gents!

    Can we name it 'Cutie Pie'? Or maybe 'Rub-a-Dub Chub'?

    Spot on, I love the spalted maple handle. Does it turn ok? I have some spalted beech knife scales that unfortunately split on me.

    It's like turning hard foam. Chunks want to tear out instead of cut. Sharp tools is key and leave extra material and sand the extra away with coarser grit.
